They're just saying that it should be easy to get many uses out of it. But they have been spoiled (no disrespect) with nektar's heavily coated swabs.

Btw
I like the new sig! :laugh2:

The x7x+ is a heavy sporer and can be massive prints. Not all swabs will be so easy to scrap spores off. Or maybe be more difficult to get germination to begin with (older).


Good point...:whiteflag:

Does anyone actually put filters over the holes on their mono tubs?

I recently tried it, and it restricted airflow more than I anticipated.

If someone’s done it enough times is there a different pattern of holes that should be adopted to counteract this?

I use the standard pasty

if you don't fan it how would you get air exchange in the closed bag?



it should be getting plenty of air from the top being cut open with the paper clips holding it shut. You can increase more Fae by taking paper clips off and opening the bag a little more.

I use pasty style tubs but also run old-school monotubs with large fae holes.

You have to stuff the large holes with poly or use mp tape otherwise the tub will dry out.

Even with pasty tubs I often tape up some of the lower holes to ensure the environment stays correct.

Yes sorry. I had a fully colonized rye jar that I mixed in a tub with coir verm sub and added a psuedo casing, and placed the tubs in a filter-bag because I didn't have anything better at home.

Soap and water.

Does a doctor spray iso before he operates on you?

I've been running my SAB 100% dry for the last year and noticed a significant reduction in contaminations. In the last month or so, I even stopped iso'ing my gloves and petri dishes and haven't noticed any uptick in bacteria. I bought two bottles and they basically sit unused.

My son once took out all the polyfill in the holes in my tubs (he was four...). Best looking flush of galindoi ever. Never went back.

Last October, I inoculated a honey+water LC with a spore syringe (bear with me a moment) and there was quite vigorous growth within days. I was planning on continuing by taking the LC and putting it on agar (to make sure it's just cubensis mycelium) but my pressure cooker crapped out on me before I could go forward with that.

I ordered a new cooker this week, and I've had the LC stashed in the back of my fridge just in case, because I remember reading that LC does keep for some time when stored in a cold temperature. Any truth to this? Is it worth my time to go ahead with the LC-to-agar plan with this LC, or should I just start from scratch?

I have 10+yr old LC at room temp.

Definitely test it on agar. It's likely trash due to using spores instead of clean agar. But you need to test all LC before use. Even if purchased. Especially if purchased.

Drink it bro

I wish I had a LC that old to test. That would be cool

Had to start somewhere, and it was either a spore print or a spore syringe :smile: Would've been nice if I'd know someone who grows so I might've been able to parlay a fresh mushroom to clone straight into agar, but alas, no

QQ : I use an aluminum xacto brand #1 handle and when flame sterilizing the handle gets too hot to hold after just a few transfers. Is there a better handle I can get that doesn't get so hot so quickly? Or is this just another part of the hobby that is to exercise our patience :p

This could be arranged, but you don't want it. I made it from spores before I knew better. There is mold and bacteria in it. But it still works for pftek if I'm desperate. I used it a couple years ago when trying to claw back from zero.
Mostly it's just for looks.

I started this way. My fix was to use silicone fingertips. They make them for sewing. Once I figured out how ridiculous this was I got a real scalpel.

Scalpel handles and like 50-100 blades are dirt cheap.
